COMMENT

Believes there are signs of resurgence in industrial & manufacturing activity across the economy. Supply chain issues starting to resolve themselves. Expecting growth will continue globally, as long as inflation doesn't remain high. Upcoming CPI numbers will indicate state of global economy. If inflation rates aren't too high, interests rates may fall. Energy & materials complex starting to lead markets, while technology stocks are lagging. Will continue to own stocks (not selling) despite risk of inflation spike, and risk of recession.
